In his letter to the church in Rome, the apostle Paul writes to say that there is 'No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' and that nothing, no hardship, neither death nor life can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sat at his piano on a Saturday afternoon, with the kids running around, Nick Law - the writer of this song - started to worship, as a reminder to himself of this truth, and an hour later, this song was finished in it's entirety. Although the song came very quickly, the recording of this track has taken the best part of a year to bring to life the joyful sound of celebration that this truth warranted.
Grace Memory is a worship leader at St Thomas Crookes, Sheffield, and has just finished a year on the Worship Central Academy here at the church. If you feel called into worship leadership and are interested in finding out more about the Academy, please visit www.worshipcentral.org
Our hope is that Always & Forever reminds you, whenever you feel far from God, whenever you feel unable to overcome your sin, whenever you need reassurance, that you are not just loved by the Father, but that you are more than a conqueror through Christ.
lyrics
There's nothing that I have done that could ever overcome
Jesus' love
No inner guilt, no crushing shame could break the bonds or drive away
Jesus' love
Nothing can divide
Your love conquers death and life
I'm always, always and forever
Always always and forever
Always, always and forever in Your love
There's no sin or wayward act in the present or the past
Great enough
To overwhelm, to rise above undying love expressed to us
In Jesus' blood
Your wrath is satisfied
Your love called us from death to life
I'm always, always and forever
Always always and forever
Always, always and forever in Your love
I'm always, always and forever
Always always and forever
Always, always and forever in Your love
I'm in Your love
We are in Your love
We are more, more, more, more than conquerors
We are more, more, more, more than conquerors
We are more, more, more, more than conquerors in Your love
I'm always, always and forever
Always always and forever
Always, always and forever in Your love
I'm always, always and forever
Always always and forever
Always, always and forever in Your love
I'm in Your love
We are in Your love
